item OF interest TO Michigan readers
Charles T.. Coon, tho ex-Assistant Secre-

interests of Steve Dorsey's scheme for
consolidating fourteen of the iron mines
in the Lake Superior region. Mr.. Coon
has gone abroad it is said, TO place a mil
lion or SO OF the syndicate's bonds.
Briefly, the scheme is to bring fourtes n
mines under one head, aud 10 marie ct
tho Bessemer output in the eastern
markets The chief obstacle TO this at
present is the high freight rates on the
lakes. The ore has never been able to get
further east than Cleveland because OF
these high charges. The syndicate means
to have its own steamers running TO the
lake ports, and Buffalo will be made the
the eastern distributing point. Mr. Coon
holds that place for the present.

COMMUNICATED.

We observe that Miss Carrie s. Patch,
daughter OF Prof. Patch. of the Univer-
sitv School, has relinqnished her school
on the Middle Gallatin, in the Robinson
district, in order to assist her father in
his school in Bozeman. Miss Patch has
won distinguished place in her profess
sionai calling, for one so young, having
taught TWO schools since the close of
winter, both being in districts where
new teachers who preceded her had
failed to give satisfaction, both in gov
ernment and instruction. In both in
stances she proved elninently success
full, and in the last (Robinson's) was
very reluctantly given up by the trustees
and patrons of the neighborhood. She
will hereafter be associated with her
father in Bozeman, in conducting the
University School, and is understood to
be well versed in the German as well as
the Spanish language. N.

ALVIN JoSLIN.


A large audience greeted Alvin Joslin
and company in Bozeman on Wednes
day night and returned very well pleased
with the performance, especially that
portion in which the orchestra was the
most prominent feature. The Alvin JOS
lin band and orchestra is the best small
band that has ever been seen in this up
per country, Its leader and the various
solists are performers of more than usual
ability. The band is provided with new
double instruments, that is, each horn,
with the exception of the cornets and
slide trombones have two instead of one
bell, thus producing the objects of band
double its size. Scott Snow the band
leader, rendered several difficult pieces
during the evening and WAS warmly ap,
plauded by those who appreciated the
treat. As for the performance proper il

sible for anything outside of musical

which is by far the best they have ever

They duly announce this fact in the

to keep their customers posted through
the same medium. 1t has been asserted
without grain of truth, that Raleigh,
Lamme & Co. intend to dissolve partner
ship. Instead of dissolving, they are
preparing to enlarge their business
and add new lines, to accommodate
which they will erect $4,000 building
on their site within few steps of their
present location. This building will be
40xl25 feet, with basement underneath,
two stories high, with plate-glass front
in both stories. The foundation wall
will be put in this fall and the building
hurried to completion as quickly as pos
sible. This firm has splendid business
and they propose to keen it, if aggress-
i've business methods and an attractive
store will accomplish that end.

The Bozeman Academy is prospering
beyond the expectations of its founders.
Last week the elegant new piano arrived
from New York, but no sooner was this
received than meeting of the trustees
was called to discuss the necessity of
purchasing second piano, of making
another music room, and of ordering
additional seats. Seats were ordered to
accommodate twenty-one more students
The new music room is to be fitted up at
once, and a piano for it secured; also, a
laboratory room is being made for Prof.
Lelst to arrange his new furnaces and
other assaying apparatus in, so he will
soon be ready to do all kinds of assaying
as scientifically and accurately as it can
be done anywhere. He has already had
a number of applications to do assaying.
We are pleased to see this institution
thus thriving, and its necessity and per-
manency so soon established.

THE HORSE srEALINa CASE.

On Tuesday night last man appeared
at the CHRONICLE office and inquired if
we had heard that man named Rech.
steiner had stolen horse from Mr.. Ed
monds. He was informed that such an
item of news had been received and pub.
lished. He then said that he was the
alleged horse stealer and that he had
been wrongfully accused, that he had
purchased the horse and had gone to
Virginia City to visit friend. The CHRoN-
1cLE account of the affair was exactly as
Mr.. Edmond's gave it to the officers
when he asked that the man be arrested,
and since the publication Mr.. Edmonds
informed us that it was correct in every
particular. As stated in the article the
officers did not go after the alleged thief
or it is more than probable that he would
now be behind the bars of the county
Jail. In the meanwhile, however, the
man returned to Edmonds ranch and
purchased the horse paying $40 therefore.
Having thus satisfactorily adjusted the
matter the summons was not served up
on him and he was allowed to depart in
peace. Our account of the affair was
absolutely correct and if anyone feels
misrepresented in the matter we take
pleasure in recommending to them the
benefits of lible suit. The abortive ef.
fort of certain party to denounce us as
sensationalists. is evidently impelled by
an item which appeared in the CHRoNI-
Gle the week before. That article was
also true in every particular, word and
syllable. And in that case also we extend
an invitation to those feeling them.
selves aggrieved to bring us before
court, with two grains of common sense
and we will prove all we have publish

uncomplainingly take the punishment

and maliciously lie.
